And last year an endangered brown bear was killed near an Italian national park sparking outrage in Italy.
The marsican brown bear was shot on the outskirts of the town of San Benedetto dei Marsi in the mountainous Abruzzo region.
The park described the slain animal – nicknamed “Amarena” after the black cherries she loved eating – as one of its most prolific brown bears.
Amarena’s death sparked outrage from local politicians and animal rights advocates, as park rangers tried to locate her cubs amid fears for their survival.
Local police identified and questioned the suspected shooter, who said he acted out of fear when he shot Amarena after discovering the mother bear on his property.
